My proposal for a 9th class called the Sniper.

As we all know we live in a perfect close range deathmatch utopia where fights always require both sides interacting and trading damage with each other. This gameplay experience is stale so I wanted to introduce a different playstyle akin to my favourite game Kovaaks. Every shooter is legally required to bend over backwards and spread their legs to include a Sniper of some sort, so here's mine.

He would have an infinite range scoped Sniper Rifle with a charge-up mechanic going from 50-150 damage and critting on headshot. Ignore any damage rampup or falloff that we specifically put into the game to make it close ranged. We will give him no sauce to his unlocks whatever, Just change the numbers without any cool gimmicks and give the rifle a coat of paint or something. We can just use his secondary slot as various band-aid fixes to counter whatever minor inconvenience he faces in case being positioned behind eleven guys isnt enough survivability. Give him two and a half melee unlocks that do nothing.

For balance i think he should share the lowest health pool and be slowed with a limited FOV while scoping, so people will try to hardscope unaware of their team getting wiped in front of them until they figure out its better to just hop around unscoped and slot machine for 150 damage headshots whenever they see someone since theres no penalty for missing at giga far range. We'll make his self-defense mostly reliant on his team like Medic but make sure he doesn't ever provide any benefit or have any sort of kinship with the team beyond calling them fifteen slurs when flank gets pushed through. I think what this game really needs is a fourth area denial class on top of Engie, Heavy and Demo that makes everything he can see a death zone forcing people to mash their keyboard and pray while receiving zero feedback on whether their dodging is working or not. I think this game is too fast paced and this class would help slow it down to an aching, writhing crawl for me.

Let me know what you think of my class idea!

i noticed that if any feral ghouls you spare in the Repconn building show up in the final speech scene of the quest so i ran past all of them and had a conga line of ghouls after me as I ran up to the Bright attic. After Chris they came through the door to keep chasing me after talking to Jason ig the ferals telepathically communicated their anger with him and i looped the top floor with a train of ferals and Jason magdumping a Laser RCW on my ass all the way to the basement where I talked to Davidson. While i was blowing Hardland into a fine paste i get the popup "QUEST FAILED" and go outside to see a bloody massacre of Nightkin and Ghouls

TLDR dont let Jason near anyone angry
